Conduct of programs:

The Institute draws up its programs with an eye on the changing trends in the banking industry. The program contents are in keeping with the various concepts and policies envisaged by the Government of India, Government of Tamil Nadu, Reserve Bank of India and NABARD for the development and the growth of the Coop.
